2020 Swimming Water Rescue **POSTPONED**

Event Details

POSTPONED!

Due to the increases in COVID-19 cases and the nature of this course that makes social distancing impossible, this course is postponed .

Registrants will be contacted shortly with details. 

Swimming Water Rescue expands the Safe Swim Defense training to include skills and knowledge to prepare a unit leader to prevent, recognize, and respond to swimming emergencies during unit swim activities. Although Safe Swim Defense training provides guidelines for conducting safe swimming activities and is required of unit leaders it does not provide the skills training mandated by those guidelines. This course supplements and provides in-depth training. The course takes approximately 8 hours and is valid for three years. Trained SWR Cards will be issued after passing required skills and completing the test exam with a score of 80% or higher. This course will be instructed by a BSA Aquatics Instructor and the WCFC Aquatics Committee team. Students should arrive between 7:45 and 8:00 am
